Jacobsen, MD, Professor of Surgical procedure at UC San Diego College of Medication and Director of the UC San Diego Complete Hernia Middle, alongside together with his associate Ryan Broderick, MD, Affiliate Professor of Surgical procedure at UC San Diego College of Medication and Surgeon at UC San Diego Well being, leveraged the world-class services on the Middle for the Way forward for Surgical procedure at UC San Diego to launch the robotic system.

Distinctive to Dexter, the surgeon stays sterile on the console enabling direct and fast entry to the affected person at any level throughout the process. This empowers surgeons with flexibility to decide on the most effective method for every step of the process.

Dexter is designed to be the “surgeon’s robotic” that gives the doctor full management of the process to optimize affected person outcomes.
